Comments on: Obama Hasn’t Raised Taxes a Single Dime, But He Plans to Raise Them by $1.9 Trillion http://www.pappasontaxes.com/index.php/2010/02/02/obama-hasnt-raised-taxes-a-single-dime-but-he-plans-to-raise-them-by-1-9-trillion/ Pappas on Taxation Thu, 09 Feb 2012 04:09:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Peter http://www.pappasontaxes.com/index.php/2010/02/02/obama-hasnt-raised-taxes-a-single-dime-but-he-plans-to-raise-them-by-1-9-trillion/comment-page-1/#comment-4418 Peter Thu, 18 Feb 2010 15:02:48 +0000 http://blog.pappastax.com/?p=14092#comment-4418 Chelan, I reject your major. I don't think rich people are any more greedy than middle-class or poor people. I admire people who do not demand that others support them and doubly admire people who create jobs for others. We should cheer these people rather than hiss them. Conversely, we should <em>not</em> reward people who bring children into the world they cannot afford. That's rewarding child abuse. Having said that, I do understand the human urge to blame others for our own failures. Although it never helps in the long run, it does make the blamer feel a little bit better about himself.

That raising taxes on greedy businesses is immoral, and cutting them for working class families is somehow a bad thing? Is that not the basis upon which he was elected? Tax the rich, take it easy on those who need help. He's doing nothing that he said he would not do. Time to stop stirring the pot, Rush. What are you getting at here?
